Providers of services often face roadblocks to forming relationships and developing product offerings for consumers of services due to the immense logistical roadblocks and costs which hamper new product rollout. For example, the marketplace is usually fragmented and generally lacks defined systems and conduits for service providers and service consumers to interact in a flexible, integrated, highly scalable way. The marketplace also typically lacks standardization in that many potential relationships either never materialize or are not completed because of a lack of a framework to facilitate the interaction. Moreover, many service providers often cannot devote sufficient resources, time, effort, and money to accomplish the steps that comprise integration and new service rollout. Also, service providers often cannot devote sufficient resources, time, effort, and money to accomplish the steps that comprise modifications to existing product offerings. Attempts to address these fragmentation and standardization issues include large service providers establishing a one to many solution. However, these attempts often fall short of providing a universal, end-to-end solution for all service providers to use substantially concurrently.
As such, a long felt need exists for a universal, end-to-end, automated, standards driven solution that is open to all (or a subset of) service providers and service consumers and that provides standardized tools to service providers and service consumers to mix and match their preferred offering slate.
